Chapter 1 Purpose
This manual describes the organization, functions, and procedures performed by the Connecticut
Department of Transportations (Department) Division of Materials Testing (DMT) relating to sampling,
testing, and inspection of materials incorporated into Department projects or State funded municipal
projects. In addition, the procedures used to verify Contractor test results and the Departments
independent assurance test programs are also described. These functions and procedures comply with
the criteria set forth in Federal Regulation 23 CFR 637, CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION AND
APPROVAL, which governs quality assurance on all federal-aid highway projects on the National
Highway System.
It is the function of the DMT to predetermine in some cases, and determine prior to completion of the
work in other cases, if materials used by Contractors and the Department in the construction and
maintenance of transportation facilities comply with the specification requirements and plans, and to
assist others within the Department with developing and maintaining materials specifications and
materials-related project specifications. Occasionally, DMT personnel perform investigational work on
new materials and procedures. Testing procedures utilized by DMT personnel are as specified in the
current edition of the ConnDOT Standard Specifications; Standard Specifications and Methods of
Sampling and Testing by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO); the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM); and ConnDOT Reference Files.
The method and frequency of testing of materials used in the construction of Department projects are
identified in the Minimum Schedule for Acceptance Testing and the Minimum Schedule for Assurance
Testing, Chapters 8 and 9 of this manual respectively. The schedules are arranged according to
standard contract item nomenclature common to the Departments Standard Specifications and listing of
contract items.
All contract items within the Departments highway construction management system (SiteManager) have
been, and continue to be, reviewed and where appropriate have material(s) that typically require testing
associated to them. Appendix D lists the material codes used in SiteManager. During the course of a
project, modifications to these associations may be required on a project-by-project basis due to a
changed field condition or Contractor selections. As materials are used on the project, project personnel
submit a Request for Test at the frequency described in the minimum test schedules to the DMT to
perform whatever actions are necessary to make a recommendation to the contract administrator as to
the acceptability of these materials in relation to the specific contract item. These actions are typically
referred to as acceptance testing and may include physical testing, visual inspection, and/or review of
pertinent documentation for a sample of the total material used.
Actions showing that the samples meet the acceptance criteria stated within the contract specification
generally would prompt a recommendation of acceptance from the DMT for that material quantity
represented by the sample. Conversely, actions showing that samples do not meet the acceptance
criteria stated within the contract specification generally would prompt a recommendation of rejection.
The typical number of requests for tests processed by the DMT are listed below in decreasing order.
Material Name Samples % of

total
Hot Mix Asphalt (All) 3300 24
Stone (Broken/Crushed) Gravel 2900 21
Precast Concrete (All) 1650 12
Concrete (PCC) 4400 32
Sand 1100 8
Reinforcing Steel 400 3
Totals 13750 100

DMT-Manual_2015 v6a
The contract administrator, in most cases a District Engineer, is ultimately responsible for the acceptance
of the total material quantity used on a project and may accept materials recommended for rejection, or
reject materials recommended for acceptance, in accordance with the Departments Specifications.
Assurance testing is performed independently from acceptance testing to assure that personnel are
performing the testing procedures in accordance with the applicable sampling and testing specification
and that the testing equipment used is calibrated and working properly.
After all construction on a project is completed and all requests for test have been processed, a Final
Materials Certificate (FMC) is issued by DMT staff that reconciles the testing for materials that are subject
to testing and/or inspection and their installed quantities. Any materials that were subject to testing and
were permanently incorporated into the project that were not accepted in accordance with the
specifications are listed as exceptions to the project specifications.
Chapter 2 Division of Materials Testing Overview

The Division of Materials Testing (DMT) consists of three Sections, Project Support and Portland Cement
Concrete; Independent Assurance and Field Inspection; and HMA, Chemical Testing & Final Materials
Certification. All are under the jurisdiction of the Division Chief for the Office of Construction (DC) and the
Principal Engineer for Materials Testing (PEMT). The DC, as the Departments representative to the
AASHTO Subcommittee on Materials (SOM), advises and assists in the preparation and continuous
revision of AASHTO specifications used by transportation agencies throughout North America.
The PEMT maintains an association with Materials Testing Engineers of other states through AASHTO
correspondence and their annual meeting and maintains a close association with the surrounding states
Materials Testing Engineers through the Northeastern States Materials Engineers Association
(NESMEA). The PEMT also maintains a close relationship with professional organizations such as the
New England Transportation Technician Certification Program (NETTCP); Northeast Asphalt User
/Producers Group (NEAUPG); and the Northeast Protective Coating Committee (NEPCOAT).
The DC and PEMT are responsible for administering and providing direction for the technical operations
such as the personnel policies, affirmative action goals, union contracts, code of ethics, and other
pertinent Department technical guidelines/policies that are brought to the attention of, and enforced by,
each individual section supervisor in the DMT.
The PEMT is assisted by three Transportation Supervising Engineers (TSEs) who lead the three sections
and a complement of 45 employees. The organization of the Division of Materials Testing is graphically
represented in the following Organizational Chart. (Figure 1)
It is the responsibility of the TSEs to supervise the day-to-day operations of the three sections in order to
assure that materials are approved and/or rejected and the specified sampling and testing procedures are
followed. Testing results are input to SiteManager for dissemination to the appropriate construction
project and District personnel. This serves as a historical record of materials tested for use on a
construction project or maintenance activity and their status during the testing process.
The duties of the three TSEs also include the submission of budget, equipment, and overtime
requirements; investigation of materials failures; and communication with Contractors and Engineers on
materials specifications and specific project-level issues.
The DMT participates in the AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP). This program provides accreditation
for laboratories that meet strict organization, personnel, equipment, and testing proficiency requirements.
The program includes the following construction materials pertinent to the Division of Materials Testing:
Asphalt Cement, Performance Graded Binder, Cut-back Asphalt, Emulsified Asphalt, HMA, HMA
Aggregate, Portland Cement Concrete, and Portland Cement Concrete Aggregate.

Division of Materials Testing Overview (cont.)
Project Support & Portland Cement Concrete (PS) Section
The PS Section is primarily involved with the operation of the satellite laboratories in each of the outlying
Districts and the testing and inspection of Portland cement concrete and precast and prestressed
concrete members. In conjunction with those materials, this section also performs the physical testing of
steel reinforcing material and other steel-related items. A large part of the service provided by this
section is the support of the active construction projects and delivering some material samples to the
Central Laboratory. Visits to the project sites are commonly done to retrieve all types of samples, assist
project personnel in the submittal of all samples, and to assist in the testing of materials on site, or the
assurance testing of PC concrete.
The PS Section of the DMT is divided into three functional units: District Laboratories Operations,
Physical Testing Lab/Cement, and Precast Concrete Fabrication Operations.
District Laboratories Operations

This unit oversees the operations of the three satellite District Laboratories located in each of the outlying
three Districts and the Central Laboratorys District 1 Lab in Rocky Hill. These laboratories are located in
each District Office within the State to expedite the sampling and testing of common materials, such as
aggregates. The unit is also responsible for maintaining an active independent assurance testing program
for aggregates and concrete for the satellite District Laboratories consistent with that of the Central
Laboratory.
The satellite District Laboratories are primarily assigned materials sampling and testing for projects within
the District in which they are located.
The principal duties of the satellite District Laboratories are as follows:
Perform acceptance testing of fine and coarse aggregates including but not limited to gradation
analysis, specific gravity, density, and unit weight.
Determine laboratory maximum density of soils and processed aggregates.
Inspect metal pipe and metal culvert ends at project sites.
Inspect and sample transportation materials at quarries, gravel banks, Portland cement concrete
plants, and other sources of supply for Department projects.
Perform acceptance sampling and testing of fine and coarse aggregates.
Observe assurance sampling and testing for aggregates and Portland cement concrete.
Obtain samples and transport them to the Central Laboratory as needed.
Inspect any new sources of materials.
Assist Division of Purchasing regarding sampling and testing of road salts.
The District 1 Lab located within the Central Laboratory facility performs the same operations as the
satellite District Labs with the additional task of checking the satellite District Labs test results for
aggregates using split samples and performing additional tests on fine and coarse aggregates such as
soundness, resistance to degradation by abrasion and impact, specific gravity, absorption, unit weights,
angularity, and elongation.
Physical Testing Lab/Cement

The responsibilities of the physical testing unit include the testing for compressive strengths of concrete
cylinders, testing of drilled cores, properties of brick and block, the tensile strengths of several ferrous and
nonferrous structural steel products, the Rockwell or Brinell hardness of structural steel products, the
coating thickness of zinc and epoxy coated products, and evaluating weld coupons for welder certification
testing. This subsection may also perform testing on new products and materials being evaluated by the
Department.

DMT-Manual_2015 v6a
Precast Concrete Fabrication
This unit acts as a liaison with precast concrete producers and project personnel to schedule on-site
inspections and resolve technical and administrative issues. Inspectors in this unit are responsible for the
quality assurance of prefabricated concrete products. These products include reinforced concrete pipe,
precast and prestressed concrete items. The overall duties of the individual inspectors are to monitor the
fabricators compliance to their own Quality Control (QC) Plan on file with the Department. At varying
frequencies, the inspectors also sample all component materials for compliance with the Departments
specifications; inspect the casting beds and forms to ensure dimensional conformance to the approved
drawings; observe the concrete batching operation to ascertain conformance to an approved mix design;
witness plastic concrete testing; observe the concrete placement and consolidation operation; witness the
compression testing of specimens; inspect the finished product for conformance to dimensional
tolerances and finished appearance; and maintain complete and accurate Department records for all
phases of the work. Consultants under contract to the Department are used as needed to supplement
DMT personnel to meet this responsibility.
Hot Mix Asphalt, Chemical Testing, and Final Material Certification (HMA) Section
The HMA Section is divided into five functional units: Bituminous Materials Lab, Final Materials
Certification and File Retention, HMA Density and Verification Lab, and HMA Plant Acceptance, and
Chemical Testing Room.
Bituminous Materials Lab

This unit is responsible for testing of various performance graded (PG) binders and other petroleum
based products. HMA paving and associated products physically tested by this unit are PG Binders,
emulsions, cut-back asphalts and bituminous component materials used in Ultra-thin HMA. In addition,
this unit reviews binder and emulsified asphalt suppliers QC Plans and other required documentation to
maintain the supplier certification by AASHTO R 26 and AASHTO PP 71
Final Materials Certification and File Retention

This unit is responsible for tracking material testing data on a project to ensure that all materials
permanently incorporated into the project are tested/certified in sufficient quantity and that the results are
acceptable or alternative acceptance criteria are met. Upon request from the District, a final materials
certificate is provided for all completed projects stating the disposition of all materials incorporated into
the project. If applicable, exceptions to the project specifications are listed individually on the certificate.
Examples of this certification are in Appendix B.
HMA Density and Verification Lab

This unit is responsible for verifying that mix designs are in compliance with project specifications. Daily
comparison testing during the paving season is performed on test specimens that are molded by both
Contractor and DMT staff. Test records are maintained for each mixture produced by each vendor
providing materials to the Department. The HMA Density and Verification unit also performs extraction
and gradation tests on samples; processes core samples; and investigates new mix designs, additives,
and aggregate sources.
HMA Plant Acceptance

Staff in this unit are responsible for monitoring HMA producer QC testing at the plant used for acceptance
on a project-by-project basis and processing the results for payment adjustment purposes. HMA mix
designs are also reviewed by staff in this unit for compliance to the project specifications and monitors
changes in materials sources and the resulting mix design changes during the paving season. During the
winter months, staff review producer generated QC Plans to ensure that the current specification
requirements are recognized and any revisions are acceptable to the Department.
8
DMT-Manual_2015 v6a
Chemical Testing
These responsibilities include the analyzing of chemical/physical properties of materials used by the
Department. These materials include the following: paving marking paint, glass beads, calcium and
sodium chloride, and other related materials. These materials are analyzed by testing of producer
provided batch samples and/or review of documentation such as Material Certificates and Certified Test
Reports. The development and maintenance of safe work practices including the safe and effective
handling of hazardous materials within the laboratory areas are included with the duties of personnel in
this section.
Independent Assurance and Field Inspection (IA) Section

The IA Section is divided into six units: HMA Plant Assurance, HMA Plant Inspection, Material
Certification and Certified Test Reports, SiteManager, Structural Steel Fabrication Plant/Field Operations,
and Consultants/Fabrication Records.
The IA Section of the DMT is primarily responsible to assure that the testing being performed by
Department and/or Contractor personnel for acceptance purposes is performed by qualified personnel in
accordance with standard test procedures and that the equipment used is adequate and calibrated. This
typically includes a review of personnel qualifications, calibration records, witnessing test procedures first
hand, and performing verification testing. The schedule for IA inspection is as follows:

This section is also responsible for the day-to-day administration of a consultant contract for the testing of
structural steel at various out-of-state fabricators, and other seasonal inspection needs within the State;
the review and processing of the consultant inspection reports; the update and maintenance of the
materials module of SiteManager and interacting with construction field inspectors to revise and maintain
materials testing results for individual projects; and addressing building-related issues for all Department
personnel within the facility.
HMA Plant Assurance

This unit follows an independent process from that for acceptance testing to ensure that material
sampling and testing at the HMA plants is being done correctly. The process evaluates personnel
sampling and testing material for compliance with established standard test procedures and evaluates the
equipment used for acceptance testing for adequacy and calibration.
9
DMT-Manual_2015 v6a
The evaluation process generally involves witnessing personnel during the testing procedure and
documenting what is observed on the Report of Witness (MAT-600) form. Test equipment is evaluated
through calibration checks, testing split samples, or any combination of these methods. Split sample
results that agree with acceptance tests within the limits of Table 1, Column C, will not require any further
action. Results that fall outside the limits will require an investigation to determine the cause of the
discrepancy and have it corrected.
Any sampling or testing of material for IA purposes is done on a separate schedule and frequency using
separate equipment. Personnel assigned to this unit will not test material for acceptance nor will the
results of any assurance testing be used for acceptance purposes.
HMA Plant Inspection

This unit is responsible for quality assurance of all HMA material used on construction and maintenance
projects. This is accomplished through the inspection of HMA material at the plant. Approximately thirty
source locations that provide HMA for State projects are inspected by personnel in the HMA Plant
Inspection unit. All producers are required to have a field laboratory to provide a DMT inspector
immediate access to test results to assure material meets the specification at the plant. In addition to the
testing of HMA, the plant inspectors sample the binder; observe the production process; inspect fine and
coarse aggregates; verify batch weights, mix temperatures, and appearance; and check plant machinery
and hauling vehicles for specification compliance. Plant inspectors maintain test records at each field lab
and complete all applicable DMT forms. The supervisor of this section is responsible for daily field
supervision and observation of field technicians sampling and testing techniques; performing plant and
field lab inspections; notifying producers of material problems; performing assurance sampling and
testing; training and reviewing procedures and specifications with the field personnel; serving as a liaison
between material producers and project personnel to remedy material issues; and working closely with
the mix design unit to carry out QA and investigative tasks.
Material Certification and Certified Test Reports.

This unit is responsible for the review of material certificates and certified test reports to determine if the
documentation provides the information necessary to recommend acceptance of the material. Following
the issuance of the Final Materials Certificate for a particular project, personnel in this unit also compile
and review the project records in accordance with the Departments record retention policies so that they
can be transferred to the Departments record storage facility in Newington.
SiteManager
Staff are responsible for updating and maintaining the materials module of the SiteManager Reporting
System and interacting with construction field inspectors and DMT personnel to revise and maintain
materials testing results for individual projects.
Structural Steel Fabrication Plant/Field Operations

This unit has the responsibility to assure that all materials and physical aspects of structural steel
fabrication are in compliance with the applicable specifications. Duties of this unit include the review and
approval of shop and field welding procedures; assistance to other Department personnel regarding
welding techniques and procedures; on-site audits and review of field welding and in-state fabrication;
testing and certification of Department approved welders; and any related duties as they apply to
structural steel fabrication.
Consultants/Fabrication Records
DMT personnel monitor consultant contracts for structural steel fabrication inspection on a day-to-day
basis. Personnel in this unit are also responsible for the review and processing of steel fabrication
inspection reports and making technical recommendations to the TSE of the section.

Chapter 4 Materials Evaluation and Testing Procedures
This chapter describes in detail the procedures used by Division of Materials Testing (DMT) personnel to
develop recommendations on the conformance to specification of materials purchased by the Department
for its own use or used by a Contractor in the construction or maintenance of a facility.
In addition this chapter also describes the procedures used by DMT personnel to inspect and qualify
facilities that produce materials for use on a regular basis by the Department or Department contractors.
Materials Evaluation
Material Catalog Cuts

Many materials used on a project are evaluated based on catalog cuts. These materials are typically
mass produced items such as louvers, bathroom fixtures, roadway lighting, and electronic equipment
available from numerous manufacturers. Due to the variety of choices, the designer typically develops a
specification that can be met by several of the manufacturers. The Designer is then responsible for
reviewing the catalog cuts submitted by the Contractor to the Contract Administrator and determining if
the contractor-selected product meets the project specification. Consequently, the DMT will not repeat
the evaluation performed by the Designer and recommend acceptance or rejection of the material. A
Request for Test (MAT-100) for the materials reviewed and approved or rejected by the Designer is not
required. Project field personnel are responsible for verifying that appropriate materials incorporated into
the project were approved by a catalog cut submittal.
Visual Inspection of Materials on Project Site

Additionally, many materials used on a project can be initially evaluated or must be evaluated daily by
project staff. The acceptance of these materials is most effectively based on the visual inspection of all
these materials at the project site and over the course of the entire project. Examples of these materials
are, but not limited to, temporary precast concrete barrier curb, bedding material, and topsoil (from project
site). The Minimum Schedule for Acceptance Testing clearly defines which materials require a formal
Request for Test (Form MAT-100) for acceptance purposes.
Material Certificate
Additionally, many materials used on a project can be evaluated by project or DMT staff by the review of
a material certificate. The Minimum Schedule for Acceptance Testing clearly defines which material
certificates require review by project or DMT staff.
Materials Testing Procedures

Materials typically used on highway projects (i.e., concrete, HMA, subbase, etc.) and also used in vertical
construction are frequently tested and as such must be tested in accordance with the Minimum Schedule
for Sampling Materials for Test (Minimum Schedule). A recommendation of acceptance or rejection of the
material will be made by DMT personnel based on the results of this testing.
Sampling Materials for Test

Laboratory personnel regularly sample both fine and coarse aggregates, aggregate blends for roadbase
applications, and other various materials used for Construction and/or Maintenance purposes. On a less
25
DMT-Manual_2015 v6a
frequent basis, these personnel also oversee the field sampling of aggregates and plastic PC concrete by
construction inspection personnel as required for assurance purposes.
Sampling is a critical component of testing and is performed according to the applicable specification
indicated under sampling in each section of this manual. DMT personnel collecting samples will utilize
every precaution to obtain unbiased samples that represent the nature and condition of the material to be
sampled. DMT personnel are certified in the applicable sampling procedures through the New England
Transportation Technician Certification Program (NETTCP) and qualified by established procedures as
described in Appendix H to assure uniform procedures in obtaining random samples.
DMT personnel also regularly transport field samples to the central or satellite laboratories for testing. It
is also important that samples are carefully handled and transported to prevent damage to the samples.
Containers used to transport samples should be clean and adequate for the particular material being
sampled. Furthermore, the containers should be durable and of a type and size that prevents loss,
damage, or contamination of any portion of the sample.
Aggregates
Scope: Coarse and fine aggregates are obtained at the source of supply for annual qualification. Typical
sampling locations include sampling from flowing aggregate streams (bins or belt discharge), conveyor
belts, roadways, stockpiles, or vehicles typically used to transport material.
Sampling: Samples are to be obtained by a representative of the Department. Preliminary samples and
tests for potential open faced banks or pits are the responsibility of the producer unless an adequate and
representative stockpile has been prepared for testing for use on Department projects.

DMT-Manual_2015 v6a
Materials: The inspector will obtain samples of cement, water, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate,
admixtures, and reinforcing steel he proposed for use on the project from the manufacturer and indicate
on Form MAT-324 the suppliers of the materials.
Sampling: All cement must be sampled at the mill and tested by an approved laboratory whose methods
and equipment are regularly inspected by the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory. One copy of
the test report certifying the acceptability of the cement shall be furnished to the Department. At the time
of the annual inspection and at any time thereafter, the inspector may obtain a sample of cement
currently in use and a copy of the corresponding certified test report.
1. Aggregate: Samples shall be obtained from approved storage piles or bins by the inspector
during the annual inspection. Additional samples shall be taken at least once every month or
from each new source.
2. Water: Each source of supply shall be sampled annually.
3. Reinforcement: Samples of each size and type of reinforcement shall be taken every six months,
or as required.
4. Admixtures: Samples of each type of admixture from each source of supply may be obtained
annually or as required.
Fabrication: Reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) must meet the requirements of the contract specifications.
The inspector will observe the production process, which shall include checking the splices, spacing, and
size of reinforcing at the time cages are assembled. The reinforcing shall be lapped not less than 51 mm
and welded with an electric welding machine. The spacing, center-to-center, of adjacent rings of
circumferential reinforcement in the cage shall not exceed 102 mm for pipe having a 102 mm wall
thickness, nor exceed the wall thickness for larger pipe, and in no case shall exceed 152 mm. The cage
shall contain sufficient longitudinal bars or members, extending through the wall of the pipe to maintain
the reinforcement rigidly in shape and in the correct position within the form. For multiple layers, a line of
circumferential reinforcement for any given total area may be composed of two layers for pipe with a wall
thickness of less than 178 mm or three layers for pipe with a wall thickness of 178 mm or greater. The
layers shall not be separated by more than the thickness of one longitudinal plus 6.4 mm. The multiple
layers shall be fastened together to form a single rigid cage. All other specification requirements such as
laps, welds, tolerance of placement in the wall of the pipe, etc., shall apply to this method of fabricating a
line of reinforcement.
The reinforcing shall be free of objectionable coatings, particularly heavy corrosion prior to installation in
the form. An adherent film of rust or mill scale is not considered objectionable. The reinforcement should
be secure so that the placement of the concrete will not displace the steel from its proper position.
Preliminary Tests and Tests for Extended Deliveries - Sampling

As part of the yearly certification process, laboratory personnel will select RCP and witness 3-edge
testing in the Spring and Fall of each year that certification is requested, two of each size pipe up through

Resistance of Compacted HMA to Moisture Induced Damage
Scope: Preparation of specimens and measurement of the change of diametral tensile strength resulting
from the effects of saturation and accelerated water conditioning of compacted HMA mixtures in the
laboratory. This test may be performed on HMA laboratory mixture, mixtures sampled from newly loaded
trucks, field pavement samples, and pavement cores.
Sampling and Procedure: AASHTO T 283 modified
Report Form: AASHTO T 283 modified Table 1, Moisture Damage Laboratory Data Sheet or MAT-428
Volumetric and Specific Gravity Using Gyratory Compactor

Scope: These methods cover the determination of volumetric and specific gravity calculations of test
specimens made by Superpave gyratory compactor.
Procedure: AASHTO M 323, and AASHTO R 35
Performance Graded Asphalt Binder (PGAB)

Scope: PGAB suppliers shall comply with AASHTO R 26 modified, Section 9, Supplier Quality Control
Plan - Minimum Requirements as modified in Table M.04.03-6 of Article M.04 of the Departments
Standard Specifications.
Requirements: The Contractor shall submit a Certified Test Report and bill of lading representing each
delivery in accordance with AASHTO R 26 modified. Upon material delivery, contractor plant personnel
shall record lot number, date, grade of binder, witnessed by, hauler name, liquid supplier, ticket number,
receiving storage tank number, quantity received, and previous tank status (quantity) in the binder log
(MAT-435). The Contractor shall provide binder samples upon request of DC. The blending of PG binder
from different suppliers is not allowed unless the HMA producer submits a QC plan for this purpose.
Sampling: In accordance with AASHTO T 40
Procedure: In accordance with all AASHTO standard methods of test listed in AASHTO 332
Report Form: QC Plan / MAT-401
Density of Soil and Soil - Aggregate by Nuclear Methods

Scope: Determination of the in-place density of soil and soil aggregate by using an approved Nuclear
Density (ND) Gauge. The procedure is used as an in-situ method to ensure that the soil density
requirements are met for acceptance and payment purposes. These density requirements shall be
applied to all construction and resurfacing projects where the compacted depth is specified to be a
minimum of 1-1/2 in. or greater. This procedure shall establish the correlation of the gauge, testing of the
material, and calculation of the test results.
Procedure: Field testing shall be as stated herein and in accordance with AASHTO T 310 modified. The
density results obtained by this method shall be reported as a percent of the maximum proctor value
performed in accordance with AASHTO T 180 Method D, sampled from the approved source. At the
conclusion of each days production, the final density average shall be calculated.
Correlation: All ND gauges shall be correlated by the Engineer each year prior to the start of the
construction season or prior to initial use on Department projects. Correlation blocks shall be provided by
the Department or the gauge manufacturer. Alternate correlation blocks shall be approved by the DC.
The ND gauge shall be correlated in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and by
determining the count rate and density on approved correlation blocks. The range of densities of the
correlation blocks shall be similar to the expected pavement densities that will be encountered in the field.
The ND gauge correlation procedure is as follows:
a. Each reading shall be a minimum of 4 minutes in duration.
b. Four (4) incremental readings will be taken with gauge sitting on correlation block and
averaged.
c. Final test results of the ND on the correlation block shall be within + 1.0 pcf of the 131.5 pcf
correlation block provided by the Department whether the source is positioned in the thick-lift
or direct transmission position.
d. The accuracy correlation (bias) will be determined as the difference from the known block
density to the final calculated value as determined above. A bias value will be chosen to
38
DMT-Manual_2015 v6a
adjust the pcf result so the ND gauge meets the accuracy requirements. If a ND gauge
cannot meet the accuracy requirements as stated herein, the ND gauge shall be repaired by
its owner and/or the manufacturer and correlated prior to its use. This bias will be utilized by
the ND gauge owner and recorded on test reports for all occasions when the ND gauge is
utilized on HMA materials until a new value is established.
e. The Engineer reserves the right to require new correlation of a ND when there is evidence to
suggest the source or the device is inaccurate.
Standardization: As a minimum, standardization of the ND gauge shall be performed daily prior to its
use. This process shall be performed in accordance with AASHTO T 310, as described in the
manufacturers guidelines and as directed herein.
a. Each days standard count reading shall be recorded. If the subject value is within 2 standard
deviations of the target value established during the time of correlation, the gauge will be
accepted for use.
b. If the standard count does not fall within the required 2 standard deviations of the target value
established during the time of correlation, additional standard counts may be run. If
successive standard counts are not in compliance as stated above, the gauge cannot be
used and must be re-correlated.
Test location selection: After the proper lots and sublots for testing are determined, in accordance with
the Departments Standard Specifications, Article 4.06.04-1 D-1, the following methods shall be used. All
distance measurements shall be taken by measurement device or reference stationing on the project.
a. Field test site selection shall be in accordance with ASTM D 3665, or
b. Select a repetitive feature located within the testing area, such as utility poles or project
stationing to establish a suitable marker. Determine the number of markers present and
divide by the number of tests to be performed so that the lot is divided equally into the
predetermined number of sublots (for example: if the lot contains 30 utility poles in the test
area and 10 tests are to be taken, each sublot will be located longitudinally within each 3
utility poles when measured from beginning edge of the days pavement.).
c. For soil testing, determine the longitudinal and transverse test location within each sublot by
use of random numbers. If the random number selected locates a transverse offset less than
1 ft. (0.3m) from a limit of the material, relocate the gauge 1 ft. (0.3m) from that location.
d. Large vertical masses such as Jersey Barriers and abutments can affect the reading of a
nuclear gauge. Therefore, when a random number locates the ND gauge less than 1 ft.
(0.3m) from any vertical mass, relocate the gauge 1 ft. (0.3m) from that vertical mass.
Testing Soils: The operation of the ND gauge for testing soils shall be as follows:
a. For all test locations, four 30-second measurements (readings) will be taken at 90 degree
angles to each other (rotated around the center of the gauge). The density value reported for
each test location will be the average of the two measurements taken in either the BS or
Direct Transmission mode.

Chapter 6 Independent Assessment/Verification Program
INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT
Independent assessment of DMT methods and equipment is performed through the AASHTO
Accreditation Program (AAP). This program entails on-site inspection by personnel from the AASHTO
Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) and the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL).
After the inspection by AMRL or CCRL, any deficiencies noted in equipment, personnel, or procedures
are addressed in a timely fashion.
In addition to the on-site inspection, AMRL and CCRL also send samples of various materials for testing
(proficiency samples). The results of these tests are compared with the test results for the same material
from other testing facilities. If proficiency sample results vary by more than two standard deviations, an
internal investigation will be undertaken to determine what may have affected the results. This
investigation will include, but not be limited to, the following: review of work sheets and data entry;
equipment check; scale check; test procedure; and a review of previous proficiency test results.
Corrective action is taken as soon as possible. The determination is documented and kept on file before
forwarding to AMRL or CCRL.
EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION AND CHECKING

The following tables indicate testing equipment that is calibrated and checked according to requirements
set forth by the AASHTO Accreditation Program. Included are the frequency, range, procedure, and
method for tractability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). To assure proper
compliance with calibration, verification, and checking requirements, a list based on these tables is
maintained by the room supervisors where the equipment is located. The list includes equipment
numbers, date of calibration, and must be updated at a minimum at the indicated frequency. Should
equipment be damaged, moved, or provide suspect results, a recalibration or check will be requested by
the room supervisor and documented on the list.

The MAT-100 must accompany all samples and documentation submitted to the Division of Materials Testing
(DMT). The form is normally produced electronically through CMR/SiteManager. All samples other than PC
concrete cylinders must have a MAT-100 attached or included so that the sample can be tracked by DMT
personnel. Samples or documentation received without a MAT-100 may be returned to the project or discarded
without any action by the DMT.

MAT-103 REPORT OF REJECTED MATERIAL
A4
Report of Rejected Material (MAT-103) Instructions
The Report of Rejected Material form serves the following purpose:
1. Identify the project and material that did not meet specification.
2. Report action taken (if any), which only includes retesting the material with an additional
sample and achieving acceptable results or removing and replacing the deficient material
with acceptable material. When such an action is taken, the MAT-103 provides the DMT
with information on how rejected material was addressed. Signatures are required in this
section to acknowledge the rejection and the action taken.
Please Note: Portland Cement (PC) Concrete is recommended for acceptance or rejection
based on concrete cylinder test results at 28 days of age. Windsor Probe or Swiss Hammer
results are for information only and will not override the test cylinder results at 28 days
regardless of when they are performed. The PC concrete will be listed as an exception to
the specifications on the Final Materials Certificate unless the District accepts the concrete
using the acceptance criteria described below.
3. In the case where no action was taken, the District may formally accept the non-complying
or deficient material in accordance with Sections 1.06.02 or 1.06.04. Signatures in this
section are intended for formal acceptance of the non-complying or deficient material by the
District. In the case where a Town Official or Consulting Engineer accepts material, if the
District agrees, it must formally concur with the signatures. The DMT may still take
exception to the District acceptance and list the material as an exception to the specification
on the Final Materials Certificate if it is unable to concur.

Independent Assurance Program Evaluation Report:
Concrete Aggregates Fine Aggregates
MAT-241
Purpose: This form is for evaluation of assurance testing of concrete aggregates. In accordance with the minimum
requirements for testing, concrete aggregates are sampled and tested for acceptance purposes randomly on a bi-
weekly basis, and assurance testing of these processes is required each ten tests. This assurance testing
evaluates in-house (not directly related to the projects) sample reducing and gradation analysis of concrete
aggregates tested at various satellite locations utilizing various equipment and personnel. See MAT-245 for
assurance testing criteria.
Assurance Testing Period (Dates): From: To:

Purpose: This form is for evaluation of assurance testing of concrete aggregates. In accordance with the minimum
requirements for testing, concrete aggregates are sampled and tested for acceptance purposes randomly on a bi-
weekly basis, and assurance testing of these processes is required each ten tests. This assurance testing
evaluates in-house (not directly related to the projects) sample reducing and gradation analysis of concrete
aggregates tested at various satellite locations utilizing various equipment and personnel. See MAT-245 for
assurance testing criteria.

Purpose: This form is for evaluation of assurance testing of Subbase and Processed Aggregate Base. In accordance
with the minimum requirements for testing, roadbase aggregates are sampled and tested for acceptance and
assurance processes. To meet project related minimum testing requirements, project personnel notify the District
Laboratories for required acceptance and assurance testing of these materials. The process starts at the project site,
where laboratory personnel witness and critique the sampling procedure at the site. Laboratory acceptance testing is
then performed and split samples are sent to the Central Laboratory for in-house (not directly related to the projects)
assurance testing, which evaluates sample reducing and gradation analysis of the materials tested at various satellite
locations utilizing various equipment and personnel. See MAT-245 for assurance testing criteria.

Purpose: This form is for evaluation of assurance testing of plastic PC concrete. In accordance with the minimum
requirements for testing, plastic PC concrete is required to be sampled and tested by project personnel for required
acceptance and assurance testing. After notifying project staff of the need for required assurance testing,
laboratory personnel evaluate the sampling and testing procedure; verify that adequate and calibrated testing
equipment is utilized and readily available; and verify use of qualified personnel for NHS projects. Side-by-side air
content testing is performed to validate project test equipment. When requested, technical expertise is also
provided to the project personnel during the subject assurance testing. Forms MAT-222 and MAT-224 (MAT-225
for metric projects) are required to be completed by laboratory personnel during the assurance testing, and if
testing deficiencies are encountered, they are noted. NOTES: 1) This form does not evaluate the projects on an
individual basis for conformance to minimum acceptance and assurance testing requirements as specified in the
Schedule of Minimum Requirements for Sampling Materials for Test. As stated above, this form is for evaluation
of the assurance testing of plastic PC concrete. 2) Comparison concrete specimens are not required to be
fabricated by laboratory personnel during the assurance test.

an error exceeding the acceptable tolerance occurs in proportioning. An asterisk (*) shall be automatically printed
next to any batch weight(s) exceeding tolerances shown below.
The automatic proportioning system shall be capable of consistently delivering materials within the full range of
batch sizes with the following tolerances:
Each Aggregate Component: +1.5% of individual of cumulative target weight for each bin
Mineral Filler: +0.5% of the total batch
Bituminous Material: +0.1% of the total batch
Zero Return (Aggregate): +0.5% of the total batch
Zero Return (Bituminous Material): +0.1% of the total batch
Tolerance controls shall be automatically or manually adjustable to provide for spans suitable for less than full
size of batches.
Recording equipment shall monitor the batching sequence of each component of the mixture and produce a
printed record of these operations on each truck ticket in accordance with Sub article 4.06.03-2 and as specified
herein. For each days production, each D.O.T. project shall be provided a clear, legible copy of the recording.
Provision will be made so that scales may not be manually manipulated during the printing process. In addition,
the system shall be interlocked to allow printing only when the scale has come to a complete rest.
A printed character (asterisk or other shall also automatically be printed on the batch plant printout when the
automatic batching sequence is interrupted or switched to auto-manual or manual during proportioning.

Appendix B Final Materials Certification
A Final Materials Certificate (FMC) summarizes the results of acceptance testing of the
material used on each FHWA-funded project and select state-funded projects.
Materials used on these projects that require acceptance testing must be sampled and
tested in accordance with the Schedule of Minimum Requirements for Acceptance
Testing, Chapter 8 of this manual. It is imperative that the represented quantity of each
material with a sampling frequency of one per quantity or one per x units accumulate
to or exceed the total quantity of that material used on the project. For some materials
the minimum schedule does not indicate a testing frequency, for which a single sample
will be adequate to represent that material incorporated into the project.
In addition, the DMT documents the process of materials testing on the project site by
checking the sampling and testing procedures performed by inspection personnel in
accordance with the Schedule of Minimum Requirements for Assurance Testing,
Chapter 9 of this manual. Testing equipment is also checked to ensure that the test
results are valid. Discrepancies in this testing are investigated and rectified
immediately. The DMT reports the results of this testing to the Federal Highway
Administration on an annual basis.
To initiate the development of a FMC, a request from the appropriate District office staff
for a Final Material Certificate is sent to the DMT. Following a review of project records,
DMT staff issue a memorandum to the project personnel entitled Test Coverage
Required for FINAL CERTIFICATION that lists all testing deficiencies and rejected
materials not previously documented.
It is the responsibility of the Supervising Engineers of each DMT section to identify

material that did not meet the project specifications, was not documented correctly, and
was permanently incorporated into the project. This is accomplished through the
issuance of a FMC listing exceptions to the specifications. When all material used on
the project are sampled and found to meet the specification or are documented
properly, the DMT issues a FMC without exceptions.
When tested material does not meet specification, a MAT- 103 Report of Rejected
Material form is used to document how the deficiency was addressed. This form must
be completed for any rejected material samples, and must include the signatures of
appropriate Project and District personnel acknowledging the rejection.
Section 1 of the Form, Action Taken describes the physical action taken to retest or
replace the material. This addresses when rejected materials were removed and
replaced with acceptable material, or were resampled and found acceptable. The
Sample ID of the acceptable re-test is required on this form. If physical action was not
taken, Section 2 of the MAT 103 must be completed.
Section 2 of the Form, Acceptance of Rejected Material without Action documents the
acceptance of non-compliant materials or minor quantities of untested materials in
B1
DMT_Manual_Appendix B_2015 Final
accordance with Section 1.06.02 or Section 1.06.04 of the Departments Standard
Specification. Section 1.06.02 states that the Engineer may accept a material or
combination of materials and therefore waive noncomplying test results, provided that
all of the following conditions are met:
1. Results of prior and subsequent series of tests of the material or materials from
the same source or sources are found satisfactory.
2. The incidence and degree of non-conformance with the Contract requirements
are, in the Engineers judgment, within reasonable limits.
3. The contractor, in the Engineers judgment, had diligently exercised material
controls consistent with good practices.
4. No adverse affect on the value or serviceability of the completed work could
result.
Section 1.06.04 states that the Engineer may accept a material or combination of
materials provided that an equitable reduction of the payment is made. Any credits,
allowances, warranties, or other conditions of acceptance must be listed.
Projects that did not perform any testing would obviously not meet the above criteria,
while a project that utilized minor amounts of non-conformant material from a producer
who generally meets requirements may meet the above criteria. Exception can be
taken and noted on the Final Certification if it is determined by DMT staff and the
Transportation Principal Engineer in the Division of Materials Testing that the alternate
acceptance criteria has not been met for materials in question.
Adequate Assurance Testing: Project related assurance testing is required as specified

in the Schedule of Minimum Requirements for Assurance Testing (Chapter 9), or
Exceptions for deficiencies in assurance testing will be noted on the Final Materials
Certificate. This testing does not include Independent assurance testing that is
performed within the DMT and is not directly associated with a project.
Examples of Final Materials Certificates follow.

American Welding Society, National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE),
American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials, and the
American Society of Testing Materials.
Personnel performing the inspection, sampling, or testing of specific materials

may require certification that is administered by agencies such as the New
England Transportation Technician Certification Program, American Concrete
Institute, and others.
The purpose of this inspection, sampling, or testing is to assure conformance of

the material to project specifications. As such, the Quality Assurance (QA)
inspector may visually inspect, witness, sample or test material during all phases
of manufacture/fabrication/production. The primary function of the QA inspector
is to assure the Engineer that the fabricator/producer is exercising adequate
Quality Control during the entire fabrication/production process.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The Testing Agency shall:
1. Assume responsibility for the assigned inspection, sampling or testing

of materials as of the date stipulated by the Department in the formal
notice to the Testing Agency to proceed with the work. This includes
any partially completed work performed by the Departments previously
engaged Testing Agency(ies).
2. Make no decisions and offer no advice or opinion to a proposed action

by the manufacturer/fabricator/producer/contractor without first
consulting with the Engineer. The Engineer is defined as the Division
Chief of Materials or his duly authorized representative.

BUREAU OF ENGINEERING AND HIGHWAY OPERATIONS
CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTANCE OF PORTLAND CEMENT BY CERTIFICATION
Before a cement producer is qualified to provide cement for use on

Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) projects, an authorized
representative of the cement producer must agree to and comply with the following:
A. QUALIFICATION
1. The cement producer shall demonstrate that the production of cement at

each mill providing material to the Department is regulated by an effective
program of quality control. The cement producer shall submit a quality
control plan to the Division of Materials Testing (DMT) that includes a
detailed account of the quality control methods employed, the sampling and
testing frequency, and testing procedures for review. Furthermore, the
cement producer shall provide upon request, any documentation produced
during any quality control related sampling and testing.
2. The testing laboratory of the cement producer shall be certified by the

Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory. Copies of the two (2) latest
inspection reports shall be submitted to the DMT for review. The laboratory
must be CCRL certified during any period that the mill provides material to
the Department.
3. The cement producer shall certify the quality of the cement supplied as
conforming to the requirements of the applicable specifications.
B. OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE
1. One (1) certified summary laboratory test report for all cement being
produced shall be furnished on a monthly basis by the cement producer to
the Division of Materials Testing, 280 West Street, Rocky Hill, Connecticut
06067.
2. Each bulk shipment to a ready mix producer, precast fabricator, or

distributor shall be accompanied by a Bill of Lading that includes the
following information:
a. Cement Producers Name

b. Mill Location
c. Cement Carrier Number
d. Date Loaded
e. Weight of Material Contained in Carrier
E1
DMT_Manual_Appendix E_v2015
f. Silo, Bin or Lot Number of Cement, Terminals
g. Consignee
h. Destination
i. Cement Type
Original BOLs must be provided to the purchaser for retention and review
by the Department.
3. Random samples of the cement supplied may be selected and tested by

the Department. Results of tests on these samples may be compared with
the certified test values provided by the cement producer.
4. Results from bulk cement testing may also apply to bagged material from
the same source.
Failure of the cement producer to comply with the requirements of the operational
procedure may be considered grounds for suspending the qualification of the
cement producer to provide cement on the basis of certification.
The procedure outlined above is intended to establish general guidelines for the
acceptance of cement on the basis of producer qualification. However, the
ConnDOT reserves the right to modify the above requirements if the best interest of
the Department is served.

D. Operation Procedures Handling Bituminous Concrete Core Samples:
Receipt of Cores (Chain of Custody):

The Contractor is responsible to obtain, label and transport core samples to the DMT. The Engineer will
select the core locations, witness the extraction and labeling of the core samples and will complete Form
MAT 109. The cores and corresponding MAT 109 will be delivered to the DMT in a secured container
approved by the Engineer. Upon delivery DMT staff will:
1. Inspect the container and cut the security seal(s).

2. Verify the security seal numbers match numbers documented on MAT 109.
3. Check in and take possession of each core sample by comparing the labeling on the core to the
sample identifications listed on the MAT 109 and inspecting each core sample for visible damage.
Document discrepancies or damaged core(s) on the MAT 109. The DMT inspector will initial and
date the MAT 109.
4. If no discrepancies exist, place cores and MAT 109 on a rack for testing.
5. If discrepancies or damaged samples are found, notify the room lead who will send an e-mail to the
project inspector or other designated district staff detailing the observation(s).
6. Damaged cores shall not be tested.
7. If a Mat 109 or security seal(s) are not present, the room lead will send an e-mail to the project
inspector or other designated district staff. The cores will be retained until such time a decision is
made to test or not.
8. Once the observation(s) is cleared the sample(s), or replacement sample(s), will be placed on a rack
for subsequent testing.
Organization:
Log in all the core samples received (including damage cores and note this in the corresponding column) in
the Tracking Cores file located in the year folder in: S:\Verification & Cores\HMA Core Density Testing.
The room lead will input an entry in the tracking file for any correspondence with project personnel.
G9
E. Operation Procedures Testing Bituminous Concrete Core Samples:
The following guidelines are for persons who are authorized to use the CoreDry, CoreLok and Table Saws
for ASTM D 7227/D 7227M & AASHTO T 331. If a person is operating any of this equipment for the first
time, a competent operator of said equipment must also be present.
Sample Preparation - Saw Cutting Core Samples:

When applicable, the core will be separated into individual lifts. This will be accomplished by slight
strokes with a chisel or the use of a table saw. Care shall be taken to ensure the lift to be tested is not
damaged. In general, any sample that cannot be readily separated into individual lifts by the use of a chisel
or if the testing bag does not conform to the specimen in a uniform manner will be saw cut. Any remaining
material that is not used for testing will be discarded. The lift will be cleaned to remove any deleterious
material from the coring or sawing process.
Before operating the table saw, refer to the corresponding job hazard analysis document in Appendix A of
this manual.
Sample Preparation - Drying Core Samples:

1. CoreDry Daily Test: Everyday, before starting operation, test the CoreDry equipment according
to the equipment manual. If the test fails, notify the room lead.
2. Towel-dry the surface of the core and place it on its side on the wire mesh sample support (Figure
1).
3. Place the lid on sample chamber (Figure 2 red arrow) and press start (Figure 2 - blue arrow).
4. When sample is dry, the unit will automatically stop and the lids can be removed.
5. If the sample is not dry after 45 cycles, remove the sample and place at room temperature for 15
minutes and continue drying the sample.
6. Between samples, remove the cold trap lid (Figure 2 green arrow) and the divider plate and
wipe out the cumulate moisture using a lint free cloth. Always replace the divider before drying
the next sample.

3. Weight the bag and enter this weight in column F in the input sheet in of Form MAT 438.
4. Weigh the dry sample and record the sample weight in column G in the input sheet in of Form
MAT 438.
5. Check CoreLok oil level as indicated in the equipment operator manual.
6. Place the bag in the CoreLok Chamber and carefully place the sample inside the bag. The bag
opening shall be over the seal bar (Figures 3 and 4) with approximately 1 overlap.
7. Close the CoreLok door and the equipment will seal the bag,
8. Record the weight of the sample sealed inside the bag under water in column I in the input sheet
in of Form MAT 438. Make sure that the bag is not touching the sides or bottom of the water tank
and that all entrapped air has been remove (this may be accomplished by gently shaking the bag
under water).
9. Remove the bag and sample from the water bath, cut the bag and record the dry weight of the core
in column J in the input sheet in of Form MAT 438. If the dry weight of the core before and after
test in column J and G differ by more than 1gr, repeat the process from 1 thought 9.
10. All weights of shall be entered into the electronic MAT 438 between two days of testing and all the

are not available from acceptance testing, the Gmm shall be tested from a sample obtained by breaking
down the core after the core has been tested or shall be determined from historical data.
The percent compaction of each core (sub-lot) will be determined using the following formula:
Percent compaction = 100[Gmb of core / Gmm of days production (avg.) or Gmm core sample or
historical Gmm]
All percent compaction results will be reported to the nearest 0.1 percent. The density report will
automatically mark in red all individual density results that are outside the 87-95% range and that are
outside +/-3.5% of the average. The cores that provide results on red will be re-tested.
The handling, testing and reporting of core samples will be monitored and reviewed by DMT supervisory
staff (E3 and above) on an ongoing basis. Any change to the standard procedure, shall be approved by the
SE or above prior to implementation.
Once a lot is completed the results shall be emailed by the DMTs core testing room lead to project
inspection staff or other designated district staff. At no time will the DMT forward results directly to the
Contractor. In general, the following shall be included in the email list:
G12
Construction projects; Project Engineer, Project Inspector, District email, DMT chain of command.
VIP and other Maintenance Projects; District Planners and/or other designated staff, DMT chain of
command.
Municipal Projects; Muni Team leader, Muni team inspector (if known), muni MAT 100 email,
DMT chain of command.
Report Form: Form MAT 438 or other form approved by the DMT.
Core Sample Retention and Disposal:

After the specific gravity testing has been completed and reviewed by the room lead, store the tested core in
the back hall rack for a two-week period. After two weeks, dispose the cores in the HMA recycling bin
located in the back dock. In general cores that are below the minimum acceptable density (negative
adjustment range) should be retained for a slightly longer period to allow for inspection by others. Any lot
that is remove and replace will be retained until such time it is determined they are no longer needed.
If you ever have any doubts or questions, ASK!
